DaveH, Hunter's View makes great (affordable) stands and ladders, but they haven't quite perfected the climber. Had one last year and nearly had a serious accident. Just a few weeks into last year's season I was about 12 feet up a tree (and still climbing) when the foot straps broke on me. I was able to recover and get down safely, but the thought of never being able to have children crossed my mind. This may be an isolated incident, but the stand did look a little cheap. So, I bought a Summit Viper for this year and couldn't be happier. It is much lighter and grasps the tree better than the Hunter's View model. Safety and performance (and my life) is worth an extra $150 in my book. Like I said, Hunter's View has some great products, but the climber I bought last year didn't work out for me.
Good luck to ya!
